We had a very positive experience...
We've used Barrett Tree Service for almost 20 years now (I remember when Trumbull used to come to do the estimates himself!). They do a great job keeping the trees in my yard healthy! They're on time and do a great job cleaning up after! Highly recommended!
As far as I can tell, the tree service is great. I had a little trouble communicating my requests about billing and was charged extra because of this.
courteous, knowledgeable and easy to communicate with
Company was quick to send out knowledgeable and friendly consultant who turned around a fast itemized plan to care for our trees. Work was scheduled in a timely manner and all staff we interacted with were professional and seemed to really care about our trees.
100% satisfied. Barrett walked the area, identified a plan, promptly removed a dead oak, and established a schedule for other work. They cleaned up after the tree removal, as well. I could not be more satisfied.
Used them for tree trimming service; not the cheapest but it seems like they knew and cared about tree health rather than just doing whatever works. Quick and clean work, no complaints.
Barrett Tree once again did a great job with our trees. They were professional and friendly from quote through execution, and I highly recommend them as trusted service providers.
My garden has been flourishing for many years under the stewardship of Barrett Tree Service. They take care of all aspects of tree care including the removal of a very large Norway Maple, yearly winter pruning, bio feeding as well as planting many additional specimens. Working with their expert arborist, Mr. Andac…
I had a great experience working with Alden and his team to plan out some new trees for our yard and to get some TLC for the existing ones. They've been very responsive when I've had questions and were very easy to work with.
Always available, extremely knowledgeable with a passion for forests and trees in urban environments. For those who care about the life of trees you can depend on Barrett.
I have a rental property where the tree over grew and started damaging the roof. Barrett had previously done some trimming for us on our primary home which I was very happy with. Our neighbots/friends also use Barrett and reported how happy they were. So I reached out again. The price was slightly higher than other…
We had tree work done the day after a huge snowstorm, and their team helped us shovel part of our walkways and our yard to be able to access the trees! Even with Mother Nature's added difficulties for their work, they did an outstanding job. 10/10!
Efficient, clear, and helpful!
Phil Perron, Hendrik Wenning, Zeke and Dan and their team members were excellent. Did a very professional job trimming and pruning our trees and had continued dialogue with us about how the work was being performed.
highly professional crew in every aspect of the scope of work
Barrett Tree Service East did a great job on our project from start to finish. They are knowledgable, responsible and responsive. Highly Recommend.
We had a wonderful experience with Barrett Tree Service East, Inc . The estimate was reasonable and the work was excellent.
Barrett Tree Service East is one of those rare vendors that make doing business easy from start to finish. From the initial quote to scheduling, the actual work, invoicing, and payment, every step was seamless, efficient, and genuinely customer-focused. Their tree-pruning expertise is outstanding—truly above and…
Easy to deal with and they do good work.
Had trees trimmed back to prepare home for painting. Work was done on time and very professionally. Price was fair and reasonable for the volume of work.
Outstanding. Cheerful, responsive crew, superb supervision.
Keith was fantastic to work with.
Barrett Tree staff are extremely knowledgeable and do great work on our property. I especially appreciate their responsiveness and communication.
I have a crabapple tree that has looked lousy for over 20 years. Had someone come out and look at the tree, found out it had several issues from rust, moss, lichen and pests. After having Barrett come out and spray; this past spring, the tree flowered with a ton of new growth. the tree never looked better.
Excellent work. Arrangements are easy to make, and they come when they say they are going to come, and leave documentation of what they have done. We have had them come for several years to treat hemlocks for wooly adelgid, to protect an old ash from emerald ash borer, and to fertilize the ground under all of the…
Very knowledgeable, friendly, and professional!
I've used Barrett Tree Service for nearly ten years for all the properties I manage. They are professional, timely, and knowledgeable, particularly in the treatment and health of trees and shrubs. I keep them on a full year schedule.
Barrett has done lots of work for me over the years, from massive tree removal (with cranes lifting pieces over my house) to yearly spraying and tree trimming. I trust them completely and find them very organized, helpful, responsive and knowledgeable. Highly recommend.
Excellent work, very professional and skilled, helpful, thoughtful of neighbors, proactive and great to work with...appreciate the quality results! Also, excited to learn it is an employee cooperative...great to know!
We were very pleased with the professionalism of the workers. Our trees are hard to reach and the climbers did a great job. They were considerate of all our neighbors. They respected our property and that of our neighbors and made sure everything was cleaned up before they left. They arrived on time and walked…
Great experience from beginning to job completion!
Nothing but wonderful things to say about Barrett Tree. Everyone, especially Ben, was kind, thoughtful, knowledgeable and careful from planning our project to the end result. They listened to our concerns, provided extra care of the new patio and fence we just installed, were a pleasure to work with and a lot fun to…
We have one substantial weeping cherry in our very small urban yard on our patio. We love the tree because it provides shade, privacy and a great place for the birds and other wildlife. We did not want to cut it down. It was out of control. Arborist Alden Johnson came out to provide advice prior to the first and…
Everyone I interacted with at Barrett Tree was friendly, polite and professional. I've used 3 or 4 different tree companies over the years and Barrett Tree is by far the best. I will use them again without hesitation.
Very pleased with their work. They provided sound advice and charged what they quoted. They were very easy to work with throughout the entire process of getting four trees trimmed.
Pleasant to work with, and very professional. Would hire again.
A great job from start to finish. Thoughtful and throughly knowledgeable crew. Totally satisfied with the work.
Barrett recently did three large oaks around my house and a neighbor's house. The crew was responsive and clean. They went above and beyond pruning the trees and the cleanup afterwards. I would highly recommend them to anyone in need of tree pruning services.
The onsite team was excellent. very responsive, very professional, and did great work. would highly recommend them!
